I grew up in Fontana Village, and had many fond memories of the quaint little village in the Smokies. I moved away for college and lost touch. After college, I heard the village had changed ownership, and upon getting engaged decided to tour the village for our wedding destination. What I found when touring was awesome! Though the property could... More

I first want to say, I have never complained on tripadvisor. We went to Fontana Village every year for a long time but stopped about 8 years ago and we could not remember why so we decided to go Memorial Day weekend. This place use to be a great place to take families. They had craft rooms with activities throughout... More

We stayed in May 2013 when the whole resort lost power for about 24 hours. Where the previous reviewer is correct there are no safety features in place for this emergency the staff handled it the best they could.They were polite and professional. They even provided a free breakfast the morning the power was out. We were in a one... More

We felt like we had gone back to the 1960's lodge-type of resort. We were here over Memorial Day week-end and the motorcycles were in abundance. The bathrooms could use a make over for more counter space but overall the room was well kept and clean. The restaurant had a good menu and food was good, especially liked the fresh... More

Staff has positioned candles on some stairs. Candles burning all night while we sleep with no smoke detectors working. Hallways and stairwells are pitch black. Door to one stairway jams closed, same as... More

This is a great place for relaxing and very family oriented. We were a group of Harley riders (about 20) and the desk staff was very professional (5 Star qualtity).

This lodge is on the Appalachian Trail and since the weather was unseasonably chilly during our 2 night stay, hikers used the lobby to sleep - I really enjoyed this! They were interesting people to talk with. It was good value only with our coupon from Groupon. The room was very small with a sink outside the bathroom. The sink... More

Came here for Zdayz with some friends to tinker with our cars and check out what others have done and from the pics on the website it looked pretty mundane, however when we got here I was quite surprised how big it is and it is nicer than expected.

We've stayed at this property for five years while attending a car event and every year the staff appears to be totally overwhelmed and unprepared. Checking in/checking out is slow.
